Nigeria’s Presidential Economic Advisory Council Has Not Had Expected Impact: Mustafa Chike-Obi

Mustafa Chike-Obi

President of the Bank Directors Association of Nigeria, Mustafa Chike-Obi says the presidential Economic Advisory Council has failed to have the kind of impact expected of it when it was constituted.

Mr Chike-Obi told ARISE News on Thursday that while the economic council is filled with excellent minds, the president is not a good consumer of policy documents that emerge from the council.

The Chairman of Fidelity Bank Nigeria was criticising the lack of a chief economic adviser in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration who he says receives the work outputs from the council and condenses them for the president’s action.

He also had more insights regarding Nigeria’s economy.
